Rain Rain Go Away…

The rain feels relentless this year. The washing machines are crying out for a break!!

☔️ MUD ☔️

It’s that time of year again folks… the washing machines are on the go from 5am until 7pm.

We try our absolute best to keep everyone and everything clean, but at times it is impossible - demonstrated beautifully in this photo by the mud loving Monty!!

Beds are changed regularly, daily if your dog is a mud lover (there is no shame in getting head to toe in the brown stuff!!!)

Towels are used to rub down and lay on top of duvets and beds, but we do apologise if your home ideas come back a little icky - we try our hardest not to let this to happen!!

We just love to allow your dog to run, roll and frolic in paddocks, fields, woods and pond!!

Thinking of using kennels?

December and January are our quietest months… why not call Cathy, pop in for a viewing and start getting your pup accustomed to the environment while all is quiet!!

👋 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗖𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗦 👋

If you wish for your dog to lodge with us and have not yet used us, we shall be requesting two things…

𝟭) 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄
We like all customers to know who we are, what we offer and where your dog will be staying.

𝟮) 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟮 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 /𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆
We need to ensure all dogs settle well in the kennel environment and have an understanding that you are coming back for them before their longer stay.

You can coincide your viewing with their first day care / sleep over.

Please call Cathy on 01548 581159 to book your viewing.

Not dog related but very much family related…

Thank you so much to Dartmouth Wine Company for kindly sponsoring our lovely Rian.

Rian started riding ponies only 4 years ago, you may have seen him around the roads getting his racing ponies fit… now he’s riding in Point To Points against some of the best amateurs in the business.

We are very grateful as a family to Rachel and Ed Capper at Dartmouth Wine Company for giving him a helping hand at the start of his jockey journey!! 

27/11/2023

And we are open…

Main Side had the last finishing touches this morning…. All kennels are washed, painted and polished. 

A queue of cars greeted us at 7:30 this morning, lots of regulars keen to get back through the doors. 6 newbies in for their introduction day and 2 viewings!!

Roll on winter season!!
